Adobe issues on my laptop

i have both Adobe flash player 11 activeX and Adobe flsh player 11 plugin, do i need both and whats the difference between both, also I have Adobe shockwave player 12.0 and yet when i play games on facebook i will at times get kick off my game as i read these words, your shockwave has crashed .... why i am i seeing this  ?

1. If you ONLY use "Intertnet Exploder", you DON'T need both - (you only need the ActiveX plugin). If you use another browser like Chrome or Firefox, you NEED both.
2. You also need Shockwave in order for both audio and video to run in the Flash Player enabled pages.
3. I've also seen the "Shockwave plugin has crashed" especially on Windows 7 when viewing YouTube videos (I love the old B/W movies there). I uninstalled it from the Control Panel and reinstalled with  a new download and it seems to have taken care of it. I haven't seen a "crash" in about three weeks.

  • I have Adobe X1 ver 11.0.7 installed on my iMac, when I download a .pdf and try to print it the printer preview is blank, only way is to take screen shots, is this me or an Adobe issue?

    On my iMac OS-X 10.9.3 I am able to view a downloaded .pdf in my browser , if however I want to print out the .pdf via the File tab and Print in Safari, the message comes up that Adobe either does not support this format, or it s corrupted as an attachment to an email.  I have tried saving it  to my desktop by exporting it as a .pdf, or saving it to the desktop.  In both cases when I try to open it, I get the same message.
    Found that the only way I can save the data is to take a screen shot to my desktop and then I can print it out, but cripes what a pain!
    Any suggestions would be welcome, is this me or an Adobe issue?

    If you are printing to physical printer from Safari : Use Reader print button from Reader toolbar
    If you want to save a PDF from Safari to your local : Use Reader Save button from the Reader toolbar.
    PS: if you have PDF in read mode the  hover the mouse at the bottom of the page and the floating Reader toolbar will appear.
    Please let me know if this solves your issue.

  • Can I register two Adobe IDs on one Laptop?

    Can I register two Adobe IDs on one laptop .... and, if so, how? I think this is what I need to do; we have two Sony Readers and just one laptop. Any advice would be much appreciated .... many thanks.

    Hello Jannette92
    You can authorize to play his and your content but you are going to want to stay away from singing in and out each others Apple ID in the same iTunes library as that can lock out one of the Apple ID’s for 90 days. The best way to handle that is to create a separate user and have it just for his stuff and then use your user for just your iPhone.

    Install it directly from Adobe. Ensure that you use the uninstaller before installing.

  • Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

    Perpetual versions you can and it possible to to activate them offline.  Offline Activation
    The Creative Cloud versions can be installed offline but you need an Internet connection to activate the installed applications,  I also believe Adobe has recently made the Creative cloud desktop application an mandatory install.  It need not be running at all times however it will be installed.

  • When will Adobe issue an update to Camera Raw to include the Olympus E-M 5 MARK II camera?

    When will Adobe issue an update to Camera Raw for CS6 and Lightroom 5 to include the Olympus E-M 5 MARK II camera, does anyone know?

    What I wonder is when folks will start researching their favorite software BEFORE buying a new camera model?
    I have never seen a cart pulling a horse!!
    We know the our software, we know the new camera will be 'ahead' of updates. its the time between that we all seem to just accept. We should not.
    We can go round in circles pointing fingers as to who is to 'blame', thats not the point. The point is, no matter how far you go back, since the advent of digital this has been a problem. Posting on all web sites as far back as I remember contain "when will there be RAW support for xyz?". There are even some on this site back in 2006 asking the same question.
    The interdependent link between camera makers & software vendors is not working properly. They need each other yet don't support each other. Do you think Adobe thought up DNG just as a exercise? From memory it was an attempt to standardize, with an open code, a raw format that was universal. I blame Canikon for not wholeheartedly supporting it. Then the Oly, Panny alliance come along with MFT, an ideal opportunity, but proprietary issues prevail as if they got some sort of advantage from it. They don't IMO.
    Sorry for the rant, got carried away! Its just so frustrating.

    Yes. You can.
    I've learned something. New. This must be recently changed. That last time I clicked on a Link I though was a dmg file and turned out it was and exe file my Macs wouldn't allow me to do so. But haven't tried recently everytime and exe file comes up I cancel. I gues I am used to the time everytime a Virus or some other nasty was downloaded it was packaged in and exe file and Macs owuldn't allow it. I suppose with the INtel guts now they can no longer refuse to download.

  • Error opening  document. file is damaged  Would this be an Adobe issue or a MAC issue?

    I cannot open PDFs attached to my Mac Mail messages. The following pops up:"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Would this be an Adobe issue or a MAC issue?

    It very possibly can be an email issue. Some email providers encode files to make transfer faster. When pdf files are decoded, it could break them.
    The first thing to try if you haven't already is to save the attachment (without trying to open it) to your desktop and THEN try to open it. Another would be to have whomever is sending the files to you, Zip them first.

  • Installed Yosemite: now can't save any files / ID, Ai, PS. Is this an Adobe issue or Apple issue?

    Installed Yosemite: now can't save any files / ID, Ai, PS. Is this an Adobe issue or Apple issue?

    I am still on Mavericks and was going to update to Yosemite, but am scared that if I do that I will lose my programs. I am following your question and I really hope that this works out for the both of us. Good Luck!!!

  • Why Do I have to load adobe Flashplayer each time I switch my computer off and on again this only started about 2 weeks ago is it a firefox problem or an adobe issue????

    Why Do I have to load adobe Flashplayer each time I switch my computer off and on again this only started about 2 weeks ago is it a firefox problem or an adobe issue. I am using adobe Flashplayer ver 11

    This is a good question. It's possible your Xserver isn't configured for the correct mouse type. Try logging into a command line console (no X11 running). Run /usr/bin/X11/X -configure. It should create an Xorg configuration file in your root directory.
    Copy this to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and try restarting your Xserver. The file it creates might require some tweaking.

  • How do i access a purchased book that i have on my adobe application on my laptop from my iphone adobe app?

    Hi j.v.fromnc,
    One of the advantages of having Pages in iCloud beta is its ability to share with other devices, so it is not surprising you want to be able to access it on your iPad. To begin with you will need to install Pages for iOS on the iPad.
    Pages
    Once the document is created in Pages in iCloud, it automatically becomes available to devices using your iCloud account. On the iPad, go to Settings > Pages and make sure that Use iCloud is on. Of course you will want to be using the same iCloud account.

  • Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my laptop and desktop using the same license?

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my Laptop and Desktop using the same License?
    Thanks!

    For Photoshop CC:
    You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers.  You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

  • Help with Adobe CC on my laptop in Win XP please?

    I have to go to Fla and can't take my desktop, but I still need to work. It's a HUGe Alienware computer. I wondered if I can put a second copy of Adobe CC on my laptop and use it there? It's kind of old, and runs on Windows Xp. Will that work? Can I do that? oh, and umm, how would I do that? And while I am pestering you wonderful helpful souls, does anyone know how to get Adobe CC to work with windows 8 so my screen doesn't flicker when I am using my wacom tablet and pen?? That just drives me crazy...Thanks so much!
    Lauera

    Windows XP may or may not work for the CC version of the product. You can check the System Requirements from the Products page https://creative.adobe.com/products. Choose a product and then select the System Requirements tab.
    You should be able to use Windows XP with the CS6 versions of the products which are available by selecting CS6 from the product page and then choosing Download.

  • Can I use Adobe on a new laptop without paying for registration/new product again?

    I have a laptop, it has adobe on it, i have a 2nd laptop, I want adobe on it, do i have to buy and register adobe all over again or can i download adobe onto my new laptop as I already have it on the other laptop?

    You can re-download your software at any time and install it on your new laptop. You'll need your serial number to activate it.
    Which Adobe products exactly? Which version?
    Which operating system is your existing laptop running?
    Which operating system is your new laptop running?
